What could make you remember why you are ok with cold weather, more than a picture of Artie playing in the snow? Without cold weather, there would be no snow days, which would mean no puppies running and jumping like crazy in the snow!
Happy Friday!

The morning walk

Artie and I took a morning walk today in the bitter, bitter cold. He was having a great time, sniffing everything, running around, while I was obviously suffering and trying to drag him down the street at top speed!
Just as I was laughing to myself that Artie and I had such different views of the [...]

Good Day Sir

OK, it’s cold here in DC, but at least it’s sunny, right?! It’s nice to be home, and Artie is being so cute this week.
His hair is a disaster though, and is getting groomed tomorrow.
Just in time to impress his visitors (my parents/sister).
Also, I wanted to let you know that I currently feel oddly cool about turning [...]

TGIF

This is how I started my day (except the glazed donut was from Dunkin). I pledge today will be a better day. I will fight my cold, not get stressed, beat this three day headache, and have fun with my sister. That’s right, she’s visiting, so no time for bad mood or illness. Donut=good mood. Starting now!

Mornings

Is anyone else having a hard time getting used to the dark mornings? Don’t get me wrong, I am enjoying fall, watching the leaves change, and wearing my sweaters! And I am even dealing with the dark nights (although dark at 6pm has all but killed my gym routine), but I cannot get used to the fact that [...]

Not sleeping through the night

You might think based on the subject of ths email that MJD and I are babysitting for the weekend, or have babies you weren’t aware of, but in fact, I am about to share sleeping issues we are having with our adorable dog, Artie!
Artie has always been a good sleeper, and loves being in his [...]

Idea for a rainy weekend

I made some kickin’ Cincinnati Chili this week for MJD’s birthday. There. I said it!
I got some of the toppings wrong – definitely needed more cheese – but it was a fun and delicious birthday surprise!
It was made even more of a perfect surprise becasue only a few days earlier during our trip to Cincinnati, we didn’t [...]

At least it’s Tuesday

Wow, last week was rough, the weekend was so busy, and this week is already high stress. And it’s not even noon. All I can say is, AT LEAST IT’S TUESDAY (as in NOT Monday!).
I am giving myself today to be annoyed, but then tomorrow is MJD’s 30th! And we are going for a fancy [...]
